Yale Kent Cluh.

At the regular weekly meeting of the Yale
 Kent club, held Monday evening, the topic
 for debate was Resolved, that representa-
 tives should be bound by the will of their
 constituencies" For the affirmative the speakers were Sargent '87, and Robinson
 8S, and for the negative Buteau 'S7 and Beekman 's8. The last argument of the evening was that of Beekman '88, who spoke for the negative in a manner pleasing and forcible to clearly show the judges and the members of the club present that the question should be decided in the nega- tive, which was done by the judges, Me- Quillan 'SS and Hoey 'S9I Other speakers of the evening were: Knapp 'S9, Butler 'SS and Matsugata '8S. The committee on pro- viding course of lectures to be given be- fore the members of the club and their friends reported progress, and the date of the first lecture and name of the lecturer will probably be announced at the next meeting of the club. This club in former years has given several courses of interesting lectures and the classes of '87 and '88 do not intend to be behindhand in this matter, and will make every effort in their power to have an interesting as well ss an instructive course of lectures.

Flooded Again.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The condition of the Atwater block yester- day was anything but satisfactory to the tenants, particularly those in the middle and east sections. Having been thoroughly food ed at the time of the fire on the 9th, they had just got their insurance adjusted and were trying to get their rusty ironwork cleaned and their soaked woodwork dried, while the process of restoring the roof went on so slowly that the rain of yesterday morn ing found them only half covered. Conse- quently they were flooded again and put in
 nearly as bad shape as they were in after the fire. Barnes Tool company in particular,
 whose allowance from the insurance compa-
 nies fell far short of the loss they sustained, felt very much hurt.
 Exactly where the blame is due for the | mishap it is perhaps unjust to try to SD pecify, | but it certainly seems as though the owners | of the building might have got the roof | finished in time had they been so disposed | The tenants think also that the owners showed very little disposition to help them
 out of the trouble yesterday.
